🙌 SB 2253 is voted out of committee and would make historic investments in the preparation of high-quality teachers that every student deserves.

Great summary from @Commit2Dallas that incorporates research and raises the urgency needed to make some real impacts! #txlege #txed

Using Texas statewide longitudinal data, I find that only 23% of students who received special ed in HS accessed accommodations in CC, with positive effects on completion & transfer rates for students with LD & OHI, but mixed results for those with ASD & EBD.

[Jennifer Freeman @ja__freeman]

🚨 New publication 🚨 out today in @CECMembership! I examine how accessing disability accommodations affects degree completion & vertical transfers for community college students with non-apparent disabilities. https://t.co/BKWF7Mf0GA
